The test firing of a Trident missile from a Royal Navy submarine failed for the second time, with the latest test carried out from HMS Vanguard off the east coast of the United States resulting in the missile landing in the sea close to the launch site. Both the UK and the US manufacturer of the Trident missile faced embarrassment, with the test revealing an anomaly. The Trident system, including submarines, missiles, and warheads, is vital to the UK\'s nuclear deterrent strategy.
